Muscles of the upper limb

treating stroke patients. Which of Mirror therapy (MT) or physical therapy would have better results in curing and rehabilitating stroke patients? Stroke can cause common physical problems that are as such; paralysis, movement, balance, or loss of muscle function; especially on one side of the body. Also, some post-stroke patients get problems with their vision, swallowing, tiredness, and controlling their bladder. Both of the physical therapy and the mirror therapy can help with stroke…

Different types of cerebral palsy exist, depending on the severity, the limbs affected, and the degree of motor function. There are several different interventions that physical therapists and occupational therapists use to treat children with this condition. The purpose of this literature review is to compare several research studies on pediatric cerebral palsy rehabilitation, specifically looking at the upper limbs, trunk, and lower limbs. Barriers and Enablers Identified by Three Pediatric…

known for affecting young children, but Duchenne muscular dystrophy is also know to only affect makes. This type of condition and reductions the muscle in mass and causes it to diminish and become weaker and weaker. This disorder is know to have significant affects on young boy, and by the age of 12 they will require the use of a wheel hair. With time the limbs and spin will become considerably mutilated and there by become compromised. Most males diagnosed with this disorder will not live past…

Symptoms including weakness and wasting of hand muscles, and numbness in the hand. Disputed TOS is caused by injury to the nerves in the brachial plexus. The most prominent symptom of the disorder is pain and other symptoms include weakness and fatigue. Venous is generally rare that affects men and women equally. The cause of this type of TOS remains unknown but often develops suddenly, frequently following prolonged limb exertion. Lastly, traumatic TOS is caused by traumatic or repetitive…

weakness in one limb or it may lead to paralyze one side of the body. Physical therapy treatment plays an important role in the rehabilitation process after the incident of stroke. Physical therapy intervention usually starts early in the acute stage of stroke, which leads to better improvement of the motor function and prevent secondary complications. However, there are many cases that come…

In this essay I will be addressing prosthetic limbs. Prosthetic limbs is what people with no hands or legs use to have a better accommodation where ever they are, these people who do not have legs or arms have a lot of disadvantage in their lives for example a person who lives alone at home and has no hands this person’s life will not be very easy because he can’t do any errands at home or this person cannot get a job because of their disability, the same can be with the legs. People created…

Australopithecus afarensis while their hind limbs were much longer in size. That process of inter-limb proportion significantly diminished their capability of climbing trees over years of time (Lucy 1982:677). Consequently they were driven out of the arboreal life style. Therefore, there came the necessity of adapting new life style to survive in the nature—bipedalism. There were other traits of the Homo sapiens to prove the existence of this transition. In the case of upper limbs, the fingers…

Two joint range of motion (ROM) of two patients, one in upper limb and one in lower limb, are measured and the data is recorded. The first ROM measured is the angle made between shank and posterior thigh, which is the angle for knee extension. The relative position of the patient and the therapist are standardized with patient sitting over the edge of the bed, keeping the trunk straight, while the therapist standing on knees close the side of legs being measured. Moving and stationary body…

than restoration of upper limb function. Typically, patients are taught to use the unaffected limb and various assistive devices for activities of daily living to regain independence. In contrast, constraint-induced movement therapy attempts to maximize or restore motor function. Constraint induced movement therapy has been proved effective in the upper limb rehabilitation.in the current study on comparing the distributed practice and massed practice…

Stroke occurs when an individual experiences a reduction or an obstruction of blood flow to the brain. This can take place due to blocked/narrowed arteries (Ischemic Stroke), leaked/open blood vessels (Hemorrhagic Stroke) or temporarily disrupted blood flow to the brain (Transient Ischemic Attack). As a result, the brain’s disrupted supply of oxygen and nutrients causes brain cells to die. Stroke is a very serious and common global health-care problem and is a leading cause of death in many…
